I'm using kernel-4.6.6-300.fc24.x86_64 with the proprietary

work with previous kernels, but now regularly fails to wake up
properly, i.e. on restarting I get the BIOS screen followed by the boot
text console and select the first (newest) option as usual. So far so
good. Then after a few seconds I see the BIOS again, repeat the
selection, and get a full reboot.
Anyone else seeing this?
I have been seeing this once in a while over the past two weeks. (And I do not have a
NVidia card or driver.) However, in my case, it just reboots.
Initially, I thought that maybe I had run out of battery (even though this did not make
sense), but the day before (when it last happened), I noticed that the battery was at 100%
when it booted in. So, I had the same thought, and have been thinking of moving to the
vanilla kernel (where hibernate works out of the box) since Fedora has decided that they
and not the user should decide that we should not have support for hibernation (a decision
which I am very disappointed with -- per reasoning below).
This decision has the potential to essentially kill hibernation in the long-term because
fewer people will use it if something requires additional work to get it going (as happens
with Fedora and I think Ubuntu). As a result, less people will be catching bugs and even
fewer will be reporting them (of course, reporting within Fedora may not even be allowed
anymore since it is disabled by default).
Hibernation besides, being environmentally friendly, also is often, when you are taking a
long trip in the middle of nowhere, the only way to get your battery to last while
working.
Anyway, sorry for expressing my disappointment.
Best wishes,
Ranjan
